So i flushed all my fluids and when i made it to the breaks i ran into a problem.....

i cant seem to bleed the breaks, the fluid is just dribbling out the bleeder nipple thing there is also no pressure....

thanks in advanced, Nathan(the squid)

 

You do understand how to bleed brakes right?

 

haha apparently not... i have done it 100's of times on cars, how different is it on a bike?

 

same thing


Just put one hand up by the brake lever, and other hand on a wrench down at the bleeder

pump it a few times, hold the brake lever tight, crack the bleeder open, closed bleeder, repeat




Also what I like to do, is bleed it at every hose connection, not JUST the bleeder

 

open the bleeder on the caliper and fill the resivour all the way up, the weight of the fluid in the resivour should push that air out with out any pumping...

Also, dont be afraid to tap your lines and calipers and master cylinder with a wrench n ****.. the vibration will knock bubbles loose. and also bleed at all banjo bolts.

 

haha, you said "banjo bolts".........

 

I don't get it, what's funny about that?

 

lol oh man
